I’m freaked out?

6th grade was pretty cool for me. You get to do a whole lot of new stuff like you get lockers and 7-8 different teachers (depending on your school). You don’t get recess, which wasn’t a big deal to anybody in my school. Here are a couple tips that I could think of:
1. DONT RUN TO YOUR CLASSES!!! There is no need for you to run at all unless you are extremely late. Running everywhere will just make you seem more like a franticky little 6th grader.
2. Don’t act like your all that just because you’re in middle school now. You really aren’t any of that.
3. Don’t smart off to the older kids, or try to say something to make you look smart or funny. You may be smart in your grade, but most of the older kids are smarter than you. And don’t remind them of the rules or tell them not to be mean or anything, then they really get annoyed. Mostly, if you stay quiet around the older kids, occasionally talking about how you didn’t like this teacher or something, then they will like you and take you under their wing.
4. Don’t try to stand up to any of the older kids. There really aren’t any bullies that take your lunch money or whatever, but some kids do like to use words to get to you. If someone is bothering you, don’t try to act tough and stand up to them, go tell a teacher or write a statement in the dean’s office.
5. Have fun and try not to get involved in a lot of drama. Trust me, theres a whole ton of drama in middle school, and if you steer clear of the drama queens, you’ll be happy.
6. You’re only like 12 years old. YOU DONT NEED TO START DATING YET. You may think you’re mature enough, but you’re really not. You have plenty of time in high school. Middle school “dating” is really just some kids who say they are going out, but really all they do is walk around, occasionally holding hands, but they never actually go on dates.
Well there you go, that’s all the stuff I could think of that annoyed me about 6th graders last year. But that was just that particular 6th grade class, they usually aren’t that terribly annoying. 7th graders will be ok with you, cuz they were you last year, but 8th graders seem to get more agitated about 6th graders, so just stay out of their hair. Have fun!
Ignore what Dwayne W says because if you beat someone up then other kids are going to want to fight you to see if your that good of a fighter. Then one day you might meet your match and then you’ll be the talk of the school, the girl who got beat up. Plus it doesn’t look good to have a record of fighting in school. So avoid fights as much as possible.
If you need directions ask a faculty member.
Also, when you go to homeroom or lunch, don’t be scared to talk to people you know “Hey, can I sit with you guys?” or “Is this seat taken?”
Because most (not all) or the time you CAN sit there and the seat’s NOT taken, and you’ll probably get to know the people you’re sitting with.
Don’t always try to hang around the popular kids, get to know someone outside the incrowd first because they could be looking for someone to hang out with to. And if you see someone else that needs help, it’s a friend in waiting.
Don’t be bothered by drama. A lot of people in middle school are the most immature people on the planet. And a lot of girls will try to start drama, ignore it. It may brand you a loser but ignore it. Unless you know you can pin them in a corner. A girl was teasing me when I was in 8th grade and she was in 7th. I didn’t act scared but when the final bell rang I called her and confronted her “Stephanie! You got something to say?!” She punked down.. “what are you talking about?”
so yeah. Don’t be afraid of bullies because most of the time they’re just cowards. (the girl couldn’t fight anyway lol)
And last but not least, DON’T FOOL AROUND WITH YOUR GRADES. Most people screw around in their classes and then when they get to high school they have to rretake classes they could’ve passed, and they fall behind when they could’ve gone ahead.
I’m going off to high school this year so best of luck to both of us!
